I`ve always been a fan of TS and it is only very recently that for some reason
I went back to it and tried learning to mod it for the first time.
From there I found Olaf's site, then this site and SHP Builder,
and I thought that digging in your code would be better than studying for my exams so here I am.
I'll try to port all the features in a new interface in C#, which means I`ll have fun the whole summer.

So yeah, thanks Banshee and Stucuk for this program!

Sounds good.

Feel free to fix some of the issues (broken TD/RA1 SHP saving mechanism, somewhat buggy TS/RA2 grid preview, preview of units on shadow frames being off by 1 pixel etc.) while you're at it, if you can

.net = disaster written all over it
don't expect people to download 250 MB of useless junk to run 2 MB application

A lot of applications with varying sizes.* And I doubt it's "useless" if it actually allows the user to run those applications. If you don't want to run those programs, then it's your loss. In addition, most people already have that "250 MB of useless junk" considering it comes with Vista, 7 and 8. Also, I'd expect some 90% of XP systems have at least version 2.0 installed.

.NET and C# saves developers a lot of time compared to C++. Would you prefer the developer of an application to use C# or would you rather wait much longer for the application to get released?_________________QUICK_EDIT

OS SHP Builder needs to be remade. The interface and the code are horrible and very restrictive. I just think that the .NET framework might not appropriate for it, since it will restrict it to few Windows platforms and languages like C#, Java, etc do not have pointers. I'm aware nobody uses Windows 98 in these days, but it would be interesting if OS SHP Builder could be available outside the windows universe, such as in Macs, IPads and Android devices.

Also, the code that deals with fileformats (mainly) uses a lot of pointer operations. Of course it is possible to rewrite them without pointers, but you might have a lot of work when you start working on that.

Good luck anyway, although I might not be able to help you (specially if you choose .Net 4.5), since the machine that I use to develop stuff is a Windows XP.QUICK_EDIT

Phrohdoh from the OpenRA community started a similar project, but chose a cross platform GUI framework for desktop and mobile applications using C# as well http://www.ppmforums.com/viewtopic.php?p=524036 However he abandoned it, but it is open source as well so anyone can take over and complete his vision.QUICK_EDIT
